SAFETY

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, ﬁ re and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

ﬂ ammable liquids, gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the

dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way.

Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed

(grounded) power tools.

Unmodiﬁ ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce

risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your

body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk

of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord

for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power

tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of

electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use

an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the

risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location

is unavoidable, use a residual current device

(RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

English

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool.

Do not use a power tool while you are tired

or under the inﬂ uence of drugs, alcohol or

medication.

A moment of inattention while operating power

tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid

safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used

for appropriate conditions will reduce personal

injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the oﬀ -position before connecting

to power source and/or battery pack, picking

up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your ﬁ nger on the switch

or energising power tools that have the switch on

invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of

the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times.

This enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves

away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught

in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection

of dust extraction and collection facilities,

ensure these are connected and properly

used.

Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related

hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job better and

safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does

not turn it on and oﬀ .

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source

and/or the battery pack from the power tool

before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk

of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of

children and do not allow persons unfamiliar

with the power tool or these instructions to

operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment

or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts

and any other condition that may aﬀ ect the

power tool’s operation.

If damaged, have the power tool repaired

before use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained

power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier

to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits

etc. in accordance with these instructions,

taking into account the working conditions

and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations diﬀ erent

from those intended could result in a hazardous

situation.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger speciﬁ ed by

the manufacturer.

A charger that is suitable for one type of battery

pack may create a risk of ﬁ re when used with

another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with speciﬁ cally

designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of

injury and ﬁ re.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away

from other metal objects like paper clips,

coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small

metal objects, that can make a connection

from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause

burns or a ﬁ re.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If

contact accidentally occurs, ﬂ ush with water.

If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek

medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation

or burns.

Regarding electric discharge in case of new

batteries, etc.

As the internal chemical substance of new batteries

and batteries that have not been used for an extended

period is not activated, the electric discharge might

be low when using them the ﬁ rst and second time.

This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time

required for recharging will be restored by recharging

the batteries 2–3 times.

How to make the batteries perform longer.

(1)

Recharge the batteries before they become

completely exhausted.

When you feel that the power of the tool becomes

weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery.

If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric

current, the battery may be damaged and its life will

become shorter.

(2)

Avoid recharging at high temperatures.

A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after

use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after

use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate,

and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the

battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.

English

CAUTION

●

When the battery charger has been continuosly

used, the battery charger will be heated, thus

constituting the cause of the failures. Once the

charging has been completed, give 15 minutes

rest until the next charging.

●

If the battery is charged while it is heated

because it has been left for a long time in a

location subject to direct sunlight or because the

battery has just been used, the pilot lamp of the

charger lights for 1 second, does not light for 0.5

seconds (oﬀ for 0.5 seconds).

The battery will not be recharged. In such a case,

let the battery cool before charging.

●

When the pilot lamp ﬂ ickers (at 0.2-second

intervals), check for and take out any foreign

objects in the charger’s battery connector. If

there are no foreign objects, it is probable that

the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it

to your authorized Service Center.

8. Switch operation

○

When the switch trigger is depressed, the tool rotates.

When the trigger is released, the tool stops.

When releasing the trigger of the switch, the brake will

be applied for immediate stopping.

○

The rotational speed of the drill can be controlled by

varying the amount that the switch trigger is pulled.

Speed is low when the switch trigger is pulled slightly

and increases as the switch trigger is pulled more.

CAUTION

●

The motor rotation may be locked to cease while

the unit is used as drill. While operating the

driver drill, take care not to lock the motor.

●

If the motor is locked, immediately turn the power

oﬀ . If the motor is locked for a while, the motor or

battery may be burnt.

●

Do not tighten too strongly as the screw heads

will be damaged.

9. How to select rotational speed

CAUTION

●

The selection examples shown in Table 7 should

be considered as general standard. As diﬀ erent

types of tightening screws and diﬀ erent materials

to be tightened are used in actual works proper

adjustments are naturally necessary.

●

When using the driver drill with a machine screw

at HIGH (high speed), a screw may damage or a

bit may loose due to the tightning torque is too

strong. Use the driver drill at LOW (low speed)

when using a machine screw.

NOTE

The use of the battery in a cold condition (below

0 degree Centigrade) can sometimes result in the

weakened tightening torque and reduced amount of

work. This, however, is a temporary phenomenon,

and returns to normal when the battery warms up.

7. Tightening torque adjustment.

(1) Tightening torque

Tightening torque should correspond in its intensity to

the screw diameter. When too strong power is used,

the screw head may be broken or be injured.

Be sure to adjust the clutch dial position according to

the screw diameter.

(2) Tightening torque indication (See Fig. 11)

The tightening torque diﬀ ers depending on the type of

screw and the material being tightened.

The unit indicates the tightening torque with the

numbers “1, 5, 10 ... 20” on the clutch dial, and a dot.

The tightening torque at position “1” is the weakest

and the torque is strongest at the highest number.

(3) Adjusting the tightening torque (See Fig. 11)

Rotate the clutch dial and line up the numbers “1, 5,

10 ... 20” on the clutch dial, or the dot, with the triangle

mark on the outer body. Adjust the clutch dial in the

weak or the strong torque direction according to the

torque you need.

Temperature Protection On 0.3 second/oﬀ 0.3 second Allow the tool and battery to thoroughly cool.

OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS

Resting the unit after continuous work

(1) The power tool is equipped with a temperature

protection circuit to protect the motor.

Continuous bolt-tightening work may cause the

temperature of the unit to rise, activating the

temperature protection circuit and automatically

stopping operation.

If this happens, allow the power tool to cool before

resuming use.

(2) After use for continuous tightening wood screw works,

rest the unit for 15 minutes or so when replacing the

battery. The temperature of the motor, switch, etc.,

will rise if the work is started again immediately after

battery replacement, eventually resulting in burnout.
